Geez....I\'d hate to see how all this will come out to those of us that are in Australia.  With the exchange rate the way it is, to play online will cost an absolute fortune!

Tony Hawk 3 doesn\'t charge monthly costs because the games are hosted off of the players\' PS2s.  I hope all PS2 games are like this, but they probably won\'t be.

hard drive = 150 US dollars? Good luck selling that when GC is 200 and X-Box is 300 which includes hdd.

PS2 HDD is 40GB = $300+$150=$450
XBOX HDD is 10GB = $300

so i think that $150 is worth it

I think that if Sony were really serious about selling the HDD in mass quantities, they should consider releasing a 5GB hdd for 25 bux or less (More than enough room for a DVD to stream data onto + other features), a 10GB hdd for 40 bux or less, a 20GB for 60 bux or less, and... well you get the idea. That way the consumer can temper his desire for online content with a variety of different size and price options.

Starting June or Nov of next year, Sony should also begin including an at LEAST 2GB upgradable HDD INTO the PS2 so that future consumers aren\'t forced to buy expensive and bulky addon\'s. (Not to mention that\'s all the more oppertunity for game devs to make suped up HDD REQUIRED games)

I agree SonyFan.  They should start the size at 10 gigs and go up from there.  That would make the HDD a lot more successful.

Thats why they\'re planning to do so..
Phil Harrison of SCEE said something about it in Official PlayStation 2 Magazine UK.

Can you give us a quote from the mag?  I really want to see what the plan is.

Im glad I can still get online. But I can\'t stream Movies, Music or games untill I get hte harddrive. I hope FFX and the HD are realeased at the same time. Maybe even a bundle.

Sure.. When I find the mag..

I got a 1000 mags.. lol..

He said something like:
"Later on we\'re gonne relase smaller versions of the HDD (10-20-30GB ect.)"

I would be buying this Ethernet/modem adapter along with Tony Hawk 3 for sure!!

So this adapter will be modem and Ethernet in one? It wouln\'t be cheaper if they release a modem and a Ethernet Adapter? Why would I want a modem if I have Ethernet? Someone?

It might be cheaper for Sony, but I\'m sure they would still charge you the same price as they are now.  I think the reason they are selling them as one unit is to make it easier for the average idiot to get online.

and its also saving SONY money. why spend twice as much when you can have it all in one and save money ?

ITS ALL ABOUT MARKETING STRATEGY!!!!!
